I have had this knife for a few months - and frankly love it. Were it not for a new knife in 01 I just received - this would NOT be for sale. I modified the scales slightly so that you can choke up more easily on the blade - while keeping all the thickness of the handle. It is a very comfortable knife - and is one of the sharpest knives I have owned.
I also put a mustard tiger stripe patina on it to prevent corrosion while in the field. It has one seen the field once and is in excellent shape. I put a mirror polish on the blade at a zero grind with Japanese water stones - ending with 8000 grit and then a charged strop. It will come to you lazer sharp.
The sheath is custom made by myself. It is 8-10 ounce leather, wet formed around the blade, with a removable dangler and a firesteel loop that will hold any 3/16 firesteel. It is protected with two coats of Montana Pitch Blend and double stitched at the seams. It should serve you for years.
I paid 150 shipped for the knife itself.
With the custom sheath - I can do 150 shipped priority and paypalled - Add if overseas or Canada the cost of actual shipping.
Thanks,
TF
